Abacinate’s roots are in the brutal slams, but their new album Genesis sees the band getting tighter and playing more intricately than ever before. They’ve ratcheted up their technicality and honed their songwriting chops, all the while delivering those slammy deathmetal grooves they’re known for in local circles. A must-listen for any death metal fan. R.I.P. vocalist Jason “Plunger” Sica.
